Multiple physical deployments can be distributed or clustered on a geographic or network basis to maximize local offload. Each embedded OCA deployment will offload a substantial amount of Netflix content traffic from peering or transport circuits. Embedded OCAs have the same capabilities as the OCAs that we use in our 60+ global data centers, and they are provided to qualifying ISP partners at no charge. Open Connect Appliances can be embedded in your ISP network. There are two main components of the program, which are architected in partnership with ISPs to provide maximum benefit in each individual situation: embedded Open Connect Appliances and settlement-free interconnection (SFI). The Netflix Open Connect program provides opportunities for ISP partners to improve their customers' Netflix user experience by localizing Netflix traffic and minimizing the delivery of traffic that is served over a transit provider.
